Apologies for another "which one" type of thread, but just looking for opinions...
I've been doing a lot of researching lately on spotting scopes, including looking at all sorts of other threads on the forum. My budget is no more than $400 (I'd love some top-end glass, but alas, not now), and I've been seriously considering the Bushnell Legend Ultra HD in 15-45x60 or the Nikon Prostaff 16-48x65. Does anyone out have anything to say about them good or bad? Maybe there's something else better?
It will be general use for all species mostly around the Cariboo-Chilcotin, but I do plan to use it up the mountains for sheep and goats (I hope), so weight is a consideration. Hopefully I'll be able to upgrade in a few years.
